OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The words 'medical malpractice' in the first sentence of the text suggest that the text focuses on the steps involved in getting a claim in case of illegal or negligent professional behavior. The missing word in the first blank of the text provides description of the negligent behavior of the 'service-provider'. Thus 'not conform to' is apt in the context. The first blank provides the clue to the missing phrase in blank 2. Thus, not conforming to expected standards of care can be termed as 'breach of duty'. The tone in the last sentence of the text suggests that it must further be established by the plaintiff that such negligent behavior by the service provider is 'certainly' the cause of the injury. Thus, the expression 'indubitably' (unquestionably) fits blank 3 best. Thus, the answer is B, E, I.
